Oklahoma City Thunder

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

The battle between the New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth seed in the Western Conference has taken yet another turn. New Orleans stunned the West-leading Golden State Warriors 103-100 on Tuesday night and improved to 42-35, while the San Antonio Spurs thrashed OKC 113-88 and dropped the Thunder to 42-36. Consequently, [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder dropped a 135-131 thriller to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, but Russell Westbrook and Co. matched a unique set of NBA records in the process. Although the following certainly does not lessen the disappointment of a loss, looking back at the game from a statistical perspective is intriguing. Dallas coach [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]

Not so fast, NBA superstar vultures. Kevin Durant is off limits. Apparently. With Durant streaking toward free agency in 2016, former Portland Trail Blazers vice president Tom Penn, now an ESPN NBA analyst, threw out the idea that Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti would deal his prized superstar rather than lose him for [...]

Um…. Er… Sure. Kevin Durant and trade don’t go together in the same breath or sentence or room or shared sides of the globe. Not unless you’re referencing his opinion on a different deal, one the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off or otherwise. For example, one such headline might read, “Kevin Durant Thinks Thunder Trading [...]

With the Bulls top two leading scorers—Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler—unable to play as they were both sidelined with injuries, someone needed to step up. One of their promising young guns—Tony Snell, was given the opportunity to start and hopefully gain more confidence from his head coach. As it turned out it was Moore who [...]
